The deadline for the James Brown Music Video Challenge - a competition to make a video for one of James Brown's classic songs, win a cash prize, become the official video for the track, and work on a project at Saatchi & Saatchi - has now been extended to mid-July, and the cash prize doubled.

James Brown - A Music Video Challenge gives up-and-coming filmmakers the chance to make a music video for one of four of James Brown classics: Sex Machine, Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World, and Try Me.

Saatchi & Saatchi and Universal Music have now decided to extend the James Brown videomaking contest to a closing date on July 16th - and double the prize money for the winner of each of the four songs to US$4,000, once selected as the official video for the track.

These tracks - none of which have ever had a music video made for them before now - can be accessed from the competition page on Genero.tv, where there's also more information on eligibility and how to enter.
